Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Gamekeeper’s is a tried and true label, always good, but seldom better than it is with this vintage. Bright crimson, it exudes fragrant cherry and raspberry aromas, then moves on to a deliciously fruity, succulent palate. Forget about tannins or oak, just enjoy it asap for its youth and fruit. Drink [until] 2013. Score: 91 Source: James Halliday, winecompanion.com.au
